I just got through to NVC tonight (603-334-0700) and they asked for our case number and the names and birthdays of the beneficiary and the petitioner. They were able to tell me when they received our case and when it had been sent out to the embassy but they did not have any tracking information on it and did not know if it had arrived at the embassy yet or not, they told me to call the embassy directly to find out.

Hope this helps!

In the UK Interviews 2010 thread they said you can call the DOS to find out if the Embassy has received your case - we're going to try, given that calling the Embassy costs £1.20/min and there's a minimum of 15 minutes on the phone......an experience I've already had the joy of from my J1 visa days :bonk:

What are the next steps?

To resume it all, see here

Drue got a letter one week after our NOA2 that VSC sent to NVC our application. Then, 2 days after, NVC sent him a letter telling him that they received the application, Gave it a new number, and that they are gonna send it to the consulate.

After that, the consulate will send me the P3.

What you should do, is, start getting ready for your P3 starting today. Then, take a week break, you deserved it. Then come back to see us when you get your letter from NVC :)

Check for more info here

wooo, so excited :dance:

Oh geez, I leave for 12 hours and our thread explodes! Right! Here goes...

Congratulations ash-n-flow! that is awesome :)they sure are earning my respect up there hehe!

My fiance has been calling the NVC since yest and they still do not seem to have our package.Megan what is the update on your's?We have like identical time -lines so yeah I figured maybe they did/will ship ours together.

Oh and my fiance says that he is only asked our NOA2 receipt number,not the usual NVC Petitioner/Beneficiary name and birthday fare?

I read that they ask the name and birthday questions ,not the receipt number.

Hmm anyway ,do keep us posted everyone:)

We are very much rooting for you justar and carol and nigel!!!

When I called on Monday, all I gave them was the Vermont case number, and they told me it wasn't there yet; give it a couple more days. Entire conversation was maybe 30 seconds, and didn't have any of the name/birthdate stuff. Maybe they were just fobbing me off...

Oh hey thanks 'Kristin&David':)

So did you wait to talk to an operator or did you press any options in between to get to one?Cos my fiance said the automated message asks you to chose between immigrant and non-immigrant visas,and we chose non-immigrant(right?)

and they just asked for our uscis case number.

We will keep calling them everyday and bug them hehe!

And noticed that you too have your dad co-sponsor your fiance,so his father is also our co-sponsor actually.Aside from sending in all financial stuff,are your parents having to send in any G-325a forms or anything that establishes their US citizenship too?

Thanks again for the help and good luck!

When I called, the first thing I had to choose was "no, this isn't about Haiti relief" (I can't remember if that was 1 or 2), then I pressed 1 for English, and then 5 to speak to an operator. I didn't answer and push-button questions about immigrant vs. non-immigrant visas, as I recall.

I don't know if I can be bothered calling them again, at least not at 8:30 am like I did the other day. Maybe I'll try later tonight. It's weird, I feel so used to waiting, I can wait for a letter to come from NVC....

So finally read through my Packet 3 - nothing surprising in it, but a joyous occasion nonetheless :)

My medical is scheduled for next Wednesday, and sadly I have to go get two shots before then. Well, at least things are moving forward... I can see the light now!!! :) :)

Hooray - You're our first member to be braving the P3 (I think, right?) and braving shots on top of it. I wish your honey could be there to hold your hand. (I always pass out when I get blood drawn, so I always have to go into a special little room when they do it and they make me lie down beforehand. I sure hope it goes better for you!)

WE WERE APPROVED LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:dance:

HECK YES! Congrats, you guys! Good job on sticking in there, and now relish this moment and do your dance before worrying about P3 and affidavit and NVC.

Miss Jess, do let me know if have been able to fathom out the menu of DOS and found an option to speak to a live person, or even an option to check your status?

It has got me beat! :help:

We've only rung NVC so far and not DOS so I can't help I'm afraid :( sure I will join you in frustration tomorrow!!

In other news, I booked my medical today!! April 7th - just want to get it out the way so when the magic P3 comes through we are ready to go. Simulataneously very excited and kind of terrified - things really starting to happen now :)
